Pastor Champion - Who Do Men Say I Am? (Official Audio)

Order Pastor Champion’s “I Just Want To Be a Good Man”: luakabop.lnk.to/PastorChampion

This album is a tribute to Pastor Champion (Nov 23, 1946 - Dec 28, 2021), who died while we were in the process of releasing this, his first record—and his wife, Mother Champion, who died a few months earlier.

Pastor Champion was a badass.

He was a preacher, a pastor, an outsider gospel singer who was raised in the Jim Crow South. He fled to California, where he joined a gang before becoming born again, and then spent the rest of his days traveling with his electric guitar to congregations and people’s homes from San Jose to Shreveport.

In 2018, we got to make an album with him. We recorded it analog, like the gospel records we love, on location, Alan Lomax style, in the 37th Street Baptist Church in Oakland, California, with the Bishop Dr. W.C. McClinton presiding.
